Michael Kors dressed a lot of people last night including Jessica Alba and Hilary Swank. I mean, there’s nothing technically wrong with this, or any of his other guests, with one major exception, but it’s really not all that exciting either, is it? Is this Met Gala worthy? There’s Alba’s one shoulder burnt gold that’s forgettable at best and Swank’s in unremarkable red with a high collar that you know you’ve seen before just in a different colour and maybe with a small variation in detail.

Katherine Heigl’s movies, you know, they’re not exactly rivalling Christopher Nolan’s. Same goes for Ashton Kutcher. And when those two collaborated, we ended up with Killers, maybe one of the worst pieces of sh-t movies of the last 20 years, slightly worse than another piece of sh-t called Life As We Know It, starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel.

Bollywood took over Toronto this weekend for the International Indian Film Academy Awards with some of the biggest Bollywood stars in attendance. It’s the first time in the history of the event that it’s taken place in North America. This is no small deal. 16,000 tickets sold out in a matter of minutes. Full Story

Written by Duana Now look, now. If anyone other than Halle Berry had paid tribute to Lena Horne, would it mean that we were less aware of the struggles she had had and the triumphs she had made over the then-totally-biased industry in Hollywood? If I started to talk about this, I might not stop, so let me temper what I’m trying to say. Full Story

The Screen Actors Guild announced their nominations this morning. There will be no Pitt Porn at the SAGs. Angelina Jolie was not nominated for Best Actress in The Tourist. Michelle Williams was also not nominated for Best Actress for her work in Blue Valentine. Instead, Hilary Swank took the 5th spot for Conviction which, well, Swank has pretty much been ignored by everyone else so far so I guess she has more friends in the Guild. Full Story

Annette Bening, Jennifer Lawrence, and Hilary Swank were all at the Hollywood Awards last night. Bening and Lawrence look to be locks on Best Actress nominations. Swank for Conviction has a good chance too. And now they say Halle Berry is coming in on the ride as her next film Frankie & Alice has just been moved up to a December release, in time for Academy consideration (sourceFull Story

Written by Sasha TIFF is finally over and if I hear someone say “TIFF’ again I might have to sew their mouth shut. Sorry, it’s been a long ass week and I’m feeling fragile. But as promised, here’s my guide for a few things to look out for this season. All in all, the red carpet attire was pretty boresville-- no major couture moments, no jaw droppers. Full Story

Written by Sasha The fashion extravaganza has begun and it’s time for my weekend fashion round up! Diving straight into it, my vote for most fashionable couple! There were a lot of Hollywood duos out this weekend—Ben and Jen, Jon Hamm and long time lady Jennifer, and Marion and Guillaume. Full Story

The premiere was this afternoon, here's Hilary Swank on the carpet promoting what they're all calling her next Oscar nominated role. Again! The buzz around this performance is big. I haven't seen it because I covered Les Petits Mouchoirs (Little White Lies) today but early speculation is that when they call the 5 names in the running for Best Actress in January, Swank is supposed to be a lock for her role in a true story about a woman defending her brother who's been convicted of murder.

I will be embarrassingly honest: I spend a lot of time checking myself when I’m in my workout clothes. They’re so unforgiving. You can slap on a pair of jeans and if the gut is a little extra that day, there’s always a loose blouse to cover it, and some heels to stretch things out, and for a few hours you can pretend the muffin top isn’t there.

She’s a two time Oscar winner, and you already know my thoughts on that. And she won both awards playing androgynous characters. And she most recently played Amelia Earhart. And now all of a sudden she shows up at the Vanity Fair party pretty much forcing her tits down our throats. What’s up Hilary Swank? You trying to tell us something? Many of you have emailed for commentary on her appearance. Full Story
